Giving it to the Panthers. Cam Newton's turned out to be one of, if not the best QB in the league this season. JStew has actually started to do sh!t, and their defense isn't half bad, either (and by that I mean it's great, Broncos D is better, but it's not a huge leap).

1. Defense Wins ChampionshipsAs cliche as it may sound, it's true. And there's no defense better fit to stop Peyton Manning's offense. The front line can get plenty of momentum to put pressure on Peyton and make him throw before he's ready. The Panthers have two freakish linebackers (namely Thomas Davis and Luke Kuechly) that they can either use to rush Peyton or hang back in coverage, along with Josh Norman and company. If the past two games are any indicator, Luke Kuechly. Enough said.

As far as the running game goes, we've seen Jared Allen on the line stuffing guys before they can gain any momentum, and, again, you have an elite set of linebackers who can chase the backs down if they do happen to get any sort of momentum.

2. Offense Wins Championships, TooWhile the former is true, the latter is also true. There's no offense in the NFL as dynamic as the Panthers have been this season. They steamrolled the Cardinals two weeks ago and are generally an extremely powerful team. The Broncos are doing very well on offense as well, but as I mentioned earlier, Carolina literally has the BEST defense to matchup against the Broncos.

The game won't be as bad as 2014, but the Broncos won't come away with a win this time, either.

What? Denver has better defense that Carolina. Denver is ranked 1 in the power ranking on ESPN.

Read what I wrote. I didn't say that Carolina had an objectively *better* defense than Denver, but simply that the matchups for the logistics of each offense, Carolina's defense will be more effective.
